A lucky lady is celebrating after winning a whopping £188,500 at a Wrexham bingo hall.

The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, landed a life-changing, six-figure jackpot prize while playing the National Bingo Game at Mecca Wrexham yesterday afternoon.

Staff at the Smithfield Road venue captured the dramatic moment when the bingo caller reveals the winning amount, sparking gasps of amazement, shouts of “oh my God” and a big round of applause from the other players.

The lucky regular had initially won the £5,000 game prize but because she claimed on one of the jackpot numbers pocketed an extra £183,500.

In the video, the bingo caller builds up the tension inside the room by saying: “There was just one winner this afternoon. It was called on 47 numbers by our own in-house winner in Wrexham.

“You’ve got an additional £5,000 so very well done to you. However, on top of that you claimed on one of the jackpot numbers.

“You’ve got yourself on top of the national game prize, a national jackpot – brace yourself love. Today, you’ve won yourself love – are you ready for this? – £188,508! So, very well done to you. Deservedly so.”

A spokeswoman for Mecca Wrexham said: “We’re absolutely delighted for the lady who is a regular customer.

“It’s always extra special when it’s one of our own customers and we hope she continues enjoying her bingo at Mecca Wrexham.”

The National Bingo Game is also known to regular bingo players as ‘The National’ and is run and managed by The National Bingo Game Association.

It offers players at participating clubs the opportunity to win life-changing cash prizes twice a day, every day of the year except Christmas Day.
